  1. you have got to be kidding me...The petition mail server is currently being blocked by Hasbro’s servers. We’re seeing if we can get around it, but many, many emails were sent before it was blocked. If they’re blocking this petition’s emails, chances are they’re also blocking/filtering the change.org petition’s as well. The only way around this is for everyone to send their own emails. http://savederpy.com/

    1. @thephilosophicalbrony A spamfilter blocking a server sending thousands of instances of the same message being sent at the same time? What a shocking turn of events. Really.

      1. @ceruleanspark not all of it is spam, and closing the servers to not allow any discussion for this at all is definately not going to solve the problem...people want answers

        Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:31:45 UTC from web
        1. @thephilosophicalbrony 1) The server has /categorised/ the mail as spam because it meets the servers requirements to be considered spam. 2) People aren't actually entitled to answers. Hasbro is not a political office or a public service.

          1. @ceruleanspark Agreed. We can still try though.

          2. @ceruleanspark no kidding, but im saying this is just going to cause more problems for them, the fandom is what made this show so popular, changing it and then not saying why is going to make people upset...maybe enough to not watch the show anymore

            Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:35:45 UTC from web
            1. @thephilosophicalbrony No I think what made the show so popular was probably little girls, we've just drawn ATTENTION to it, there's a difference.

              Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:36:34 UTC from web
              1. @scoot i didnt hear about this show from little girls, i certainly didnt stick around because id have something to talk about with little girls, so explain why else i could have started watching the show...same goes for everypony

                Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:40:17 UTC from web
                1. @thephilosophicalbrony I don't think anyone cares why you watch the show, I think Hasbro cares more about the hoards of little girls who buy their toys than some nerds on the internet watching their show on YouTube.

                  Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:43:41 UTC from web
                  1. @scoot first of all why are you on a brony site if you clearly dont care about the community(trolling is cool btw -__-) and second i think there are more bronies watching the show now than little girls

                    Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:47:40 UTC from web
                    1. @thephilosophicalbrony Hahahaha

                      Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:48:09 UTC from web
                    2. @thephilosophicalbrony I've been on this site for a lot longer than you pal and I really only care for quality members of the community.

                      Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:50:23 UTC from web
                      1. @scoot again why are you here you clearly dont care for the community or the show for that matter

                        Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:51:16 UTC from web
                        1. @thephilosophicalbrony Better question, why are YOU here?

                          Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:52:50 UTC from web
                          1. @scoot why am i here? because i talk to other BRONIES about the show while applying my own views...like this site was designed for, you are just here to cause unnecessary problems

                            Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:58:34 UTC from web
                        2. @thephilosophicalbrony @scoot STOP IT WITH THE FLAMING GUISE. WE'RE ALL MAKING OURSELVES LOOK BAD. THIS ISN'T US. THIS ISN'T WHAT WE'RE KNOWN FOR. Love and Toleration, anyone? Or did that change, and now I'm out in the cold? I admit, I too haven't been the best recently with this whole !savederpy thing (which I still support), BUT WE NEED TO CHANGE. If not, Hasbro/Studio B are NEVER going to do anything for us ever again. We need to chill, let them come out with an official response, and then organize our PEACEFUL, ORGANIZED protests. In the meantime, listen to relaxing songs like Cara Mia, and keep checking the savederpy.com page for updates. I'm off! Sayonara!

                          Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:56:38 UTC from web
            2. @thephilosophicalbrony I'm sure they're just trembling in their boots at the thought of a bunch of freeloaders on the internet not watching their show.

              Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:38:31 UTC from web
              1. @ceruleanspark haha freeloaders? honestly dont know what made you use that...and im not sure who is trying to scare Hasbro i just wanna know the reasoning behind this and possibly see other options...theyre setting this argumentative path by closing the servers

                Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:45:30 UTC from web
                1. @thephilosophicalbrony You're not the brightest bulb are you, lad?

                  Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:46:31 UTC from web
                2. @thephilosophicalbrony I'll be blunt, since it's easier to type. Quit being stupid.

                  1. @redenchilada good argument, but ill have to decline saying stuff like that is really not going to help...if you want to socialize go to facebook, im trying to have an actual discussion

                    Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:53:06 UTC from web
                    1. @thephilosophicalbrony Keep talking to the mods that way see where it gets you : )

                      Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:53:33 UTC from web
                    2. @thephilosophicalbrony As a moderator, this is your final warning. Stop. Being. Stupid.

                      Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:54:48 UTC from StatusNet Android
                      1. @redenchilada you are really getting your point across btw you people saying were being stupid and just complaining, are the ones starting these arguments...we are the ones actually doing stuff like petitions and recruting people for those petitions...you can just deal with it

                        Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:57:15 UTC from web
                        1. @thephilosophicalbrony IF you're gonna do petitions please don't try to involve those who honestly don't care, that's what this about, those that care and those that don't and until this is solved it is best if we stay seperate

                          Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:58:31 UTC from web
                        2. @thephilosophicalbrony "you can just deal with it" Fine, if this is how it has to be...

                          Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:59:06 UTC from StatusNet Android
    2. @thephilosophicalbrony Alternatively, take the hint and quit bugging them.

      Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:15:49 UTC from StatusNet Android
      1. @redenchilada @ceruleanspark haha! http://ur1.ca/8e9gw

        Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:18:00 UTC from web
      2. @redenchilada *nog* I quite like BDR's comments. (To the effect of "Don't blame Hasbro, don't blame the studio. Blame the haters who started this all.") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK_L5kTIiXs

        Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:18:42 UTC from web
        1. @forestrain D'AWWWWW Why are fillies crying so adorable?

          Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:26:20 UTC from web
    3. @thephilosophicalbrony Keep in mind, if they're receiving tons of messages all from the same address, they're going to assume it's spam.

      Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:15:51 UTC from web
    4. @thephilosophicalbrony they may have won the battle but the war is far from over

      Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:16:41 UTC from web
      1. @dj9volt No. Quit antagonizing them before they block their perhipheral demographic out altogether.

        Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:17:44 UTC from StatusNet Android
    5. @thephilosophicalbrony gotcha. I guess private emails is the way to go.

      Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:17:14 UTC from web
    6. @thephilosophicalbrony You know, instead of spamming them, you could say "we're sorry for sending so many mails, would it be okay to like, send a mail once a week or so with petition status and how many signatures we have?" or something similar so you're saying what you want WITHOUT harassing them

      Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:17:21 UTC from Choqok
      1. @omni I think that's a great idea!

        Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:19:03 UTC from web
      2. @omni i only sent one first of all, they closed the SERVER so that means nobody can send mail

        Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:29:44 UTC from web
        1. @thephilosophicalbrony +1 to this

          Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:30:27 UTC from web
        2. @thephilosophicalbrony It's a spam filter. It's a robot. It responds to floods of identical messages by blocking them at source. It is functioning without oversight and entirely as designed.

          Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:31:06 UTC from web
    7. @thephilosophicalbrony Already did! =D

      Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:23:07 UTC from web
    8. @thatonepony 50 or 60*

      Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:50:17 UTC from StatusNet Android
    9. @thatonepony Thank you and I don't get mad for that long don't worry.

      Sunday, 26-Feb-12 18:52:15 UTC from web
    10. @thatonepony youre using the same "not thinking" i am though, how can you just say there are 6 girls to each brony when they havent been polled for a petition of actively online
